Can you use a 2000 24 hours a day?
 
I don't see why not.  My 1000 has been running almost nonstop since the day
I got it (just been off to move and to update the operating system) which
is almost 4 years now.
 
Lots and lots of bulletin boards run on Amigas, Pee Cees, Apples, TRS-80s
and they are all on 24 hours a day, year after year.
 
The only real problem is in areas with hot climates and no air conditioning.
You might need an extra fan.  Keep the screen off, or use POPCLI or a similar
screen saver, because a monitor should not be on 24 hours (you'll get 
'burn in').  But the computer isn't a problem, as long as your fan keeps
ticking along.  Oh, a GOOD quality surge protector is a good idea.  The
more the computer is on, the more chance of it getting zapped by power
spikes and surges.
